Those levels of cost (Medicare and SS) are just not sustainable. It’s that simple. As a doc I am very, very concerned with what the future of health care will look like without some major changes. Unfortunately, everything the political class has thrown out there is not going to fix the problem. Plus, if every physician in the US worked for free it would not fix the problem or stop the increases in medical costs.
What if Obama made you work for free and then made you pay taxes on what you would have made if you were paid?
